there is big news to report tonight on the fiscal cliff talks. today social security got sucked into the negotiations. here is the latest offer from the white house. the president of the united states campaigned on letting taxes go up on anyone making $250,000 a year. now he is offering to almost double it to $400,000 a year. democrats are also offering $8 billion in cuts. they want to raise the debt ceiling for the next two years. and now the white house is offering cost-of-living adjustments on social security. these are not your average cost-of-living adjustments. the white house says we can recalculate how much money people get as they age. the technical changes could save some money, but it could cost seniors dearly. this is what the poverty rate for seniors would look like without social security. almost half the seniors would fall below the poverty line. now look at this. social security dramatically reduces poverty among seniors. cutting social security would be cruel. the white house is defending the proposal. >> the president has always
